Software for frozen and cold-chain distribution.
Frozen, cooler and dry on one warehouse layout, temperatures recorded at receiving, lots with expiry, and a record at every hand-off.
Frozen & cold chain
Three things that are true every day.
Three temperatures, one buildingFrozen, cooler and dry stock on the same floor, and the system has to know which is which.
The cold chain has to be provableA customer who says the case arrived warm is a credit unless there is a record.
Expiry is the inventoryA lot past its date is not stock. The system has to know before the pick does.

If this sounds like you
Four situations we built for.
Bring one of these to the demo and we will walk it through on your own items and customers.
- Frozen, cooler and dry on the same floor, with put-away that keeps each in its place.
- Stock past its date withheld from picking before anyone reaches for it.
- A delivery dispute settled from the signed record at the door.
- A trace across receiving, storage and delivery in minutes.
